Call for Submissions

Conflict Resolution Quarterly publishes scholarship on relationships between theory, research, and practice in the conflict management and dispute resolution field to promote more effective professional applications. Conflict Resolution Quarterly is sponsored by the Association for Conflict Resolution.

Articles may focus on any aspect of the conflict resolution process or context, but a primary focus is the behavior, role and impact of third parties in effectively handling environmental and/or public policy conflict. All theoretical and methodological orientations are welcome. Submission of scholarship with the following emphases is encouraged:

• Discussion of a variety of third party conflict resolution practices including dialogue, facilitation, facilitated negotiation, mediation, regulatory negotiations, fact-finding, and arbitration at the local, national or international levels.
• Analyses of disputant and third party behavior, preference, and reaction to conflict situations and conflict management processes.
• Consideration of conflict processes in a variety of conflict contexts including family, organizational, community, court, health care, commercial, international, and educational contexts.
• Sensitivity to relational, social, and cultural contexts that define and impact conflict.
• Interdisciplinary analyses of conflict resolution and scholarship providing insights applicable across conflict resolution contexts.
• Discussion of conflict resolution training and education processes, program development, and program evaluation and impact for programs focusing on the development of more competent conflict resolution in educational, organizational, community, or professional contexts.

A defining focus of the journal is the relationship between theory, research and practice. All articles should specifically address the implications of theory for practice, include a 100 word abstract, and be approximately 7500 words in length. CRQ uses a double-blind peer review process to assure fair and equal access to all authors.
